A Sustainable Future with Polyurethanes

At Dow, we’re accelerating our sustainability journey towards a low carbon and circular future.

Securing a better future for all 

Our ‘Decarbonize and Grow’ strategy includes a phased approach to decarbonize our assets to meet the growing demands for sustainable products and solutions through continued investments in new products, technologies and processes.  

Transitioning to low carbon is an opportunity for Dow’s Polyurethanes business. That’s why we’re optimizing our technologies to enable benefits such as increasing circularity, bio-based and renewable content, energy efficiency, resource reduction and reduced emissions.  

Building better environmental performance 

Collaboration has always been part of accelerating innovation at Dow and the Polyurethanes business. Working together with partners from across the value chain allows us to implement low carbon solutions and technologies and solve the biggest materials challenges.   

This approach helps our customers to achieve their sustainability related goals. By building better environmental performance into every step of the polyurethane lifecycle, realizing CO2 savings and increasing circularity in their end-applications, is now a reality.

Advancing carbon neutrality with Dow  

Responsible sourcing of low-carbon feedstock helps make net-carbon reduction possible.   

Our reduced carbon offerings demonstrate or enable a lower carbon footprint. This net carbon reduction is based on the responsible sourcing of low-carbon feedstocks as well as Dow`s actions to reduce carbon emissions in the manufacturing process- both of which result in lower embedded carbon in our customer`s products.
